gnome: switching workspaces

so finally working with linux… its a Red Hat :/ but its company policy 🙁

but at least its a linux…

due to running it in an vm, it has a major problem with switching workspaces… which i actually need! the problem is that the vm takes over the CTRL+ALT to leave the vm… but CTRL+ALT+arrow allows switching the workspace… and i really need this shortcut… so how to fix this?

simple… ask google 🙂

Mainly just change the vm ware commands… C:\Users\$YOUR_USERNAME$\AppData\Roaming\VMware add the following lines to the preferences.ini

pref.hotkey.shift = “true”
pref.hotkey.alt = “true”
pref.hotkey.control = “true”

restart the vm… and every thing is good… 🙂 ok now the leave the vm is CTRL+ALT+SHIFT, which i normaly doesnt use 🙂
